Is it possible to transition to this career?
I graduated with a degree in Computer Science back in 2023. I have not found a job related to my degree. My internship was only a position as a QA Analyst which mostly involved testing software.
The problem is I'm not really passionate about CS. I have tried working on side projects but quickly lose interest/motivation in completing them. I have not really tried to find a job in CS hence why I have not held a position related to it since graduating. The job market for CS new grads is also really difficult where I live right now (not saying data analyst is any easier, I don't know).
Data Analyst has been something I've been interested in and I'm not sure how I can get my foot out the door. What should I do before applying for entry level positions to increase my chances? How long of a commitment do I need before I have decent chances at landing an entry level position?
I know the obvious answer is to go back to school and get a degree for it, but that isn't something I can do.
